This evening when we're playing dress-up, he pulled out this hat from his wardrobe & said, "Mommy, look! This hat has Mickey Mouse ears!"
To my surprise, it fits him much better now then it did 2 years ago. So I decided to take some pictures & post them here.
The hat is actually really easy to make. It's basically one big knitted rectangular piece & 2 pom-poms stitched together. The only slightly complicated thing is the cable pattern in the front. I don't exactly remember how I did it. I think I copied it from a pattern in a magazine. I always think that cables are something that look more complicated than it really is. I like cable patterns. It has that kind of unmistakable knitted look.
Anyway, I'm really pleased that Genghis likes the hat & he can still wear it 3 years after I made it!
PS. Genghis has the name tag on because we went to an office party this evening & they gave him the tag. He insisted keeping it on for the pictures (!).
